...uncan and Berwin, Thank you for your help. I really wanted confirmation from someone more experienced than me that I wasn't missing something. It looks like there is no way to do this in one line in base R, and that's fine. For reference, the packages that I am doing this for are acs and choroplethr, both of which were archived today. (choroplethr depends on acs, and acs was archived due to a NOTE. I was the maintainer of chroplethr). I believe that at least a few people will still want to use choroplethr, at least for a little while. The instructions I have posted on this are consistent with...

I have just written a package called choroplethrZip <https://github.com/arilamstein/choroplethrZip> which contains a shapefile and metadata on US Zip codes. It is currently hosted on github, has a tagged version number (v1.0.0) and passes R CMD check as verified by Travis. My plan is to use this in the next version of my package choroplethr...

...ees a corrected version of the package as far as I can go, since for the failing URLs, it isn't very clear what to do. I would suggest that you, Ari, are best placed to offer to take over the package, meaning that as soon as you get a fixed version of acs to CRAN, you can re-submit your valued choroplethr to CRAN and be a bit better future-proofed. Since you do use github, I'd suggest using an acs repo there and running CI both for acs and for choroplethr using the acs on github. That would give you advance notice of possible rule tightening in R-devel. Hope this helps, Roger -- Roger Bivand...

...umentation brings up a good limitation of simply telling users to type "devtools::install_github()". Namely, what happens when the census bureau updates their shapefiles, and I subsequently decide to update the package? Or if I discover an error in the package and decide to update it? The choroplethr package could have a dependency, and it's not clear how to make that dependency explicit to the user.

Hola! Quiero empezar a georeferenciar en mapas con R. En blogs se encuentra bastante información pero veo que no hay unanimidad respecto a las librerías a utilizar ni tampoco la información es muy clara ni abarcativa. ¿Alguno/a trabaja con mapas en R y me puede indicar por donde encarar? En principio mi interés es realizar mapas sencillos con información por provincias y departamentos de

In writing drat, and talking to R users about it, I surprisingly often find many (advanced) R users who seem to not use update.packages() at all. R itself has your problem so...

Hi Dirk, I'm interested in pursing this but I haven't been able to figure how to to make it work. Here's what I have so far: install.packages("drat") library(drat) addRepo("arilamstein") I (obviously) have a copy of the choroplethrZip github repo locally. I typed: git checkout gh-pages git push I gather that this is what I needed to to do make the repo web-accessible. Although I found this step a bit confusing because it looks like github has a pages feature for both accounts and projects. And now the instructions say to t...
